Tiger Flash should go close again whilst Mista Rossa brings winning form to the table but there may be a bit more value in chancing SITWELL. Ryan Moore teams up with Tiger Flash for the first time as the colt seeks an elusive success having gone close in similar company on no fewer than three occasions. Connections have tried a variety of tactics with similar results and he looks worth taking on given his likely starting price. Mista Rossa has been kept busy on the all-weather where all three of his successes have been achieved but he shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to racing on turf although his best form has come under quicker conditions. Sitwell has been a shade disappointing since landing a small touch at Folkestone but he was far from disgraced when stepped up in trip and tried in a visor at Wolverhampton last time. He drops in trip and class and should get a strong enough pace to bring his stamina in to play. Hucking Hero rates a mention as he might have needed his latest run and his yard are in rare form so he could well make a bold bid but Sitwell has a reasonable each-way shout and is preferred.
